Porphyrobacter tepidarius is a moderately thermophilic, aerobic anoxygenic phototrophic bacterium capable of growth at elevated temperatures, as suggested by its species name (tepidarius meaning warm). It has been isolated from thermal or warm freshwater habitats. Like other Porphyrobacter species, it contains bacteriochlorophyll and can harvest light energy as a supplementary energy source.
